I got my first "Do the needful" ticket today!

Well, technically it was a student asking a teacher to fix something, and the teacher fwd'd the email to me. But still, I giggled.

I didn't know this phrase was typically an Indian-English thing until recently. That explains why I've only ever heard it from the one Indian doctor I work with.

No no, you need to fit in to the environment. Be super passive about it. Delete the files without saying anything and give very non-answers when people ask if you know what happened.

Keep deleting them when they pop back up until it stops. Eventually when the ticket comes in asking how to download the illegal movies, forward it to the school head.

NUMBER 1 QUEENSLAND SUPPORTER
MAROONS 2023 STATE OF ORIGIN CHAMPIONS FOR LIFE



:yotj:
After being miserable for a while at my previous incompetent company who refused to hire any technical people and kept exponentially releasing broken products (making my job of running support impossible) I started looking around on Seek and interviewed for a support position elsewhere; halfway through the interview they offered me a more senior position in software and implementations consultancy at twice my previous pay with a heap of benefits and I snapped it up :D

Also they asked me if it was ok to start one week later than my normal notice period for my old job so I could start with 4 nights away at a resort for their yearly conference. I said yes, strangely.

And now I'm in the office and the people are competent and friendly and I am in a company that actually seems to understand the concepts of "don't release broken products", "actually have qualified people to support them", "be realistic that people don't work 36 hours straight normally".

I'm just so happy :D

plus they have free food and soft drinks here so idk that's pretty nice, and they let us wear smart casual clothes which is awesome.

My old work lost their poo poo when I resigned, especially when they found out my contract said I only had to give 2 weeks notice rather than the 4 they thought I did. I also found out they're not replacing me so idk the support team is going to have literally zero people with IT skills now right when they launch their new major product (which lol had at my last count 1100 known bugs in JIRA).

Yeah, you'll get maybe ten seconds tops of the guy viewing it. I'd go with just filming yourself jumping out from behind a doorway and yelling "MOVIES ARE GONE!"

Due to %Faculty member%'s actions, we are instituting a quota for all network storage. Also due to %faculty member%'s actions, we will have mandatory training on cyber security and illegal file downloading. I will also be speaking to the district's legal team to limit any potential liability the school might have due to %faculty member%'s actions. Also, %faculty member%'s taste in films, while not technically illegal in this state, are generally poor.

Hey Windows won't activate on any of those new servers you guys built for us a few weeks ago.

Check, determine that KMS is real pissed because none of them went through customization when they were deployed because the guy who deployed them "Didn't realize that mattered I've never done that before. I just set their hostnames/IPs/joined domain manually after cloning from template."

They've been in use for a couple weeks so I can't just blow them away and have them redone without people getting mad. I'm thinking best option at this point is just telling retard to use the MAK key and making a note that we have 32 servers not using KMS because of stupid, and then telling him to migrate them all over time as maintenance windows permit.
